Trends in shape

Trends not only change in the clothes you wear but the body you wear them on. The trend of 'superskinny' was a huge thing for the past few years, however celebrities such as Kim Kardashian have generated the idea of a healthy body image. Women are now wanting a curvier shape and are accentuating their figure through the curves you wear. 


The desired body shape used to be the 'boyish' shape however, now many women want an 'hourglass'. Another trend which we can see on the catwalks and in high street stores is power-shoulders. In the 1980's, shoulder pads were the 'big thing', and they have no returned in blazers, dresses and shirts. Maximising your shoulders can make your waist look slimmer and balance out your hips. 

This dress from Zara shows how the high street are interpreting the trend. 



If you read this and have an opinion on 'superskinny', please comment and tell me what you think. I need some opinions for my University project!
